Your horoscope for July 28 to August 3, 2016

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      By the end of the week, the big push is taken as far as it can or should go. Friday takes it to a next level or prompts something altogether fresh. Free yourself up; book the day off if you can; keep ready and available. Uranus does an about-face just a few minutes after Mercury and Mars square off. While these stars can dial it back on the tension, pressure, or buildup, they can also act like a sudden event trigger. Uranus is always good for stirring it up or pulling the plug in some unexpected way. Please use extra caution on the road, and with electrical devices, hot items, and sharp instruments. The start of Uranus retrograde can also coincide with a shift of social, political, and weather trends.

      Mercury enters heal-it/fix-it Virgo on Saturday. Well timed for Vancouver’s Pride celebration, Sunday’s Venus trine Uranus delights in the colour, the fun, and a good parade.

      Sunday through Wednesday dish up the best the stars have to offer. The new week begins with sun/Saturn keeping it under good control. Tuesday’s new moon in Leo is also prime for pleasure-seeking and gaining good reward. Make the most of your time; pump up on the good stuff. Also on Tuesday, Mars treks into Sagittarius, ending a two-month intensity stint in Scorpio. While Mars aims to put the future on a better, faster move-along, it is still on a finish-up cycle with Saturn’s reality check through the end of August.

      Aries
      March 20 - April 20

      Friday can redirect you or strike flint in some unexpected fast-track way. While Mercury in Virgo puts you into a work-it-out cycle, the start of Uranus retrograde helps you to hit the target with better precision. Sunday through Wednesday, the stars reward you. Mars in Sagittarius puts the future on the front burner. It also shortens the distance to a goal post. Intuition sharpens.

      Taurus
      April 20 - May 21

      Something or someone is about to set you on a new course. The instigator could be you. Friday is a game-changer day, perhaps instantly or radically so. Even if there’s a price to pay upfront, you’re on your way to substantial gain. Mercury into Virgo, starting Saturday, and Mars into Sagittarius, starting Tuesday, give you more to work with and toward.

      Gemini
      May 21 - June 21

      As of Thursday/Friday, you’ll hit a switched track. Watch for a rapid turn of events or for a sudden insight or impulse to speed you along. Once in motion, there’s no stopping you or it. Mercury into Virgo begins a two-month get-the-job-done cycle. Mars into Sagittarius, starting Tuesday, supports this initiative. Sunday through Wednesday puts you on the upswing.

      Cancer
      June 21 - July 22

      All it takes is one good push to tip it over or one good one to change everything. Thursday/Friday could revive you in some significant way. From this point forward, you are wise to hit the ground running. Through Wednesday, you can cover a lot of ground and accomplish plenty. One way or another, Mercury in Virgo and Mars in Sagittarius pile it up on you.

      Leo
      July 22 - August 23

      Friday’s Mercury/Mars can pit you against yourself, another, or it, but rather than push or struggle, watch for Uranus to plug you into something fresh. Mercury into Virgo and Mars into Sagittarius are ideally timed for a getaway or vacation start. Both also put more on brew than is readily visible. You own it Monday through Wednesday. Tuesday’s new moon provides a great boost.

      Virgo
      August 23 - September 23

      Whether there’s an event to pin it on or it’s an inner awakening, watch for Uranus and the end of the week to turn it around for you in some dynamic way. Both Mercury into Virgo, starting Saturday, and Mars into Sagittarius, starting Tuesday, mobilize health, home, real estate, finances, and family matters. Sunday through Wednesday, you’ll work it out well.

      Libra
      September 23 - October 23

      Thursday/Friday may not go according to plan or expectation. Someone may bail on you or you may do it to them. The stars are well set for a change-of-scenery weekend or the start of a vacation. Sunday/Monday, catering or caretaking is in order. Tuesday/Wednesday gifts you. Go for more, name a better price, play, create, enjoy; you deserve it!

      Scorpio
      October 23 - November 22

      The workweek’s end is ideally timed for letting off steam or for a cut to the chase. If something unexpected overtakes or triggers you, trust your first instincts. Spontaneity also provides your best entertainment. Personally and careerwise, Tuesday’s new moon makes you look good and gives you an excellent approval rating. Mars into Sagittarius boosts moneymaking, investment potentials, and personal pleasure.

      Sagittarius
      November 22 - December 21

      Thursday/Friday can crack it open. Uranus can put you in the know, perhaps unexpectedly so. As of Saturday, Mercury into Virgo gives you something added to work with and toward. Sunday/Monday, favour, reward, approval, or acceptance comes readily. Tuesday’s new moon launches a social, travel, and opportunity cycle. Mars into Sagittarius pushes your refresh button and/or puts you or it on the move.

      Capricorn
      December 21 - January 20

      Thursday/Friday brings pressure, then release. Uranus can put you into a rebellious, let-loose, or impatient mood. When it comes to entertaining yourself or others, try on something new for size. Mercury into Virgo, starting Saturday, is well timed for vacationing, visits, travel, scouting, or getting a move on. Sunday/Monday are great for making it official.

      Aquarius
      January 20 - February 18

      The end of the week brings you to a finish line or goal post, but there’s no time to dwell. Uranus retrograde can pull the plug or push the refresh button, perhaps in some unexpected way. Mercury into Virgo and Mars into Sagittarius put you on a two-month mission. Make the most of what you have to work with.

      Pisces
      February 18 - March 20

      Has it plagued you as of late? One way or another, Friday’s Mercury/Mars works the kinks out of the system. End of the week, Uranus can dish up something unexpected. For the next two months, Mercury in Virgo puts added emphasis on improving communication tracks and making better inroads. Mars into Sagittarius helps you to gain better control.
